Are Weller Soldering Irons Right for Your Toolbox?



Weller Soldering Guns | StellarTechnical.com
Think about our Weller line the next time you need a seriously strong joint. These Weller soldering guns are designed for creating superior mechanical bonds in a range of applications. Their features make them ideal for plumbers, hobbyists, artists and others who require simple tools, user-friendly operation and improved durability.

Operating Characteristics
Weller soldering irons come in a range of highly configurable options. In addition to guns that operate at lower 75 W standards, we feature devices that include power ratings of 100W/140W, 200W/260W and 200W/300W. It's relatively easy to find something you'll be comfortable with, and even if you underestimate your need for heat-generating capacity, our mode-selectable irons make it simple to take advantage of a much-needed power boost on the fly.

One cool aspect of our
Weller soldering irons is that they're designed for rapid heating. All go from complete cold to solder-ready in under 10 seconds, and this makes it pretty convenient to perform spot repairs or heavy-duty jobs without major delays while you wait for your equipment to catch up. Standard six-foot cords with heavy duty grounding and sheathing are perfect for working in tight spots, and the fact that you can swap out tips and replace broken switch assemblies at will means that you can generally count on your Weller iron for a long time.

User-Friendly Characteristics
For many Hakko enthusiasts, the real value of the brand lies in the little details.
